Barbara Forever

Barbara Forever is an archive-driven exploration of the life, work, and legacy of pioneering lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer. Director Brydie O’Connor weaves a kinetic tapestry of archival footage, guided by Hammer’s own voice, offering an intimate front-row seat into the mind of a visual poet. Hammer’s work celebrated lesbian identity, desire, and the bodies and lives often left out of history. O’Connor’s portrait captures her audacious ambition, creative persistence, and the tensions of an artist driven to document life on her own terms. The film is a candid, inspiring tribute to a trailblazing visionary whose influence resonates today.
